Incident at the library

On Monday, I drove to the library to replenish my supply of mystery books. I prefer to visit on Friday after work. There are only a few patrons so the library is calm and peaceful. I had a list of authors and selected 12 books to check out. As I approached the self scanner, a patron said, "You're not going to read all those books!" and another patron strode up, said something similar but added "You must not do anything else!" Eventually a library worker addressed the first patron who told her that he had to wait for me to finish and she directed him to the other self scanner which incidently had been available all along. There was no reason for this encounter and thinking about it still bothers me. I posted a picture of my black and white cat snoozing on the back of my couch with the snowy day in the background. Someone commented that my cat looked like a "cow in the window and how much does it weigh." I can't control her reaction to the photo, but I can control my reaction to her reaction. I will enjoy the photo of my eight pound black and white cat curled up on the back of the couch.

Napa, our new hungry cat

Need to make another grocery run

The employees at my husband's work have been taking care of a homeless cat. They feed him and provide him with outside shelter. Recently the temperatures have dipped and when my husband noticed the cat shivering, he decided to bring the cat home. I took him to the vet for a check up. He is being treated for an upper respiratory infection and parasites. I believe that he would have died if my husband had not brought him home. He is eight years old and is constantly hungry. My new cologne of the day is "Eau 'd Amoxicillin" (scent of bananas) as I struggle to give the cat his medicine and end up wearing some. We have a menagerie with three dogs,four cats, one rabbit and seven fish. Along with people food, we need dog and cat food and timothy hay.

tablet with laptop capabilities

I wish all the letters on my dock were working. It takes five times as long to type a story on a virtual keyboard, even if most of the words come up! I am dreaming of an android tablet with laptop capabilities. I did not renew the subscription for the chat site. I discovered that I rarely used it. It was fun to chat with people from other countries and I will miss the opportunity to do this. I select books from the library and discover that I dislike either the writing style or the characters. I made a new list of possible authors to check out.
